This week on Saturday vs Sunday, we’re digging into the State of Affairs in Colorado football, and there’s a lot to unpack on both the college and pro side.We kick things off with the Colorado Buffaloes, where the biggest storyline isn’t just about football — it’s about resilience. Coach Prime is back on the sidelines after overcoming bladder cancer, and we can’t help but respect what that takes. This season is his first without coaching his son, Shadur Sanders, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how that changes his approach. The Buffs have talent at quarterback with Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter and a highly rated five-star freshman, but the team’s identity could shift toward a more balanced attack.That shift is badly needed — last year’s rushing offense was dead last in the nation at just 65 yards per game. We talk about whether this offensive line, with three returning starters, can improve enough to support the run game. The wide receiver room has been reloaded with strong portal additions, but replacing all four top receivers who are now in the NFL is no small task. On defense, there’s reason for optimism, especially along the line, but they’ll need to compensate for the loss of Travis Hunter in the secondary.We break down their Big 12 schedule, which looks favorable in spots. They dodge Texas Tech, open with a huge non-conference test against Georgia Tech, and have some winnable early games before hitting the heart of the conference slate. The real test will be whether they can build momentum heading into season-ending matchups with Arizona State and Kansas State.From there, we move to the Denver Broncos — and we’re talking about a team with legit top-three defense potential. They were already stacked last year, leading the NFL in sacks, and now they’ve added two Pro Bowlers from the 49ers in safety Talanoa Hufanga and linebacker Dre Greenlaw. The big question is the offense. Bo Nix will need to take a step forward in year two, and we think the “sophomore slump” narrative is overblown. Draft picks like running back RJ Harvey and receiver Pat Bryant could be difference-makers.We also look at the AFC West picture. The Chargers losing star left tackle Rashawn Slater could be a game-changer in the standings, potentially putting the Broncos ahead of them on paper. But here’s the real challenge for Denver — last season they racked up wins mostly against struggling teams. If they want to be taken seriously as contenders, they need to beat teams with winning records and show up in big games, not just against the bottom of the league.It’s a year of transition and opportunity for both the Buffaloes and Broncos. Whether it’s Coach Prime’s first season without Shadur or the Broncos’ push to challenge the Chiefs, Colorado football fans have plenty to watch for in 2025.
